Math Problem Statement

Simplify the following radicals: 1. ∛(27x⁶y⁹ / 125x³y⁵) 2. √(64m³n⁴) 3. √(20a¹⁰b²⁰c⁹) 4. ⁵√(486x¹⁷y¹³ / 2050z¹⁸) · 2(⁴√(16x⁸ / y¹⁶z²⁰)) 5. ³√(680m⁸ / n¹¹o¹⁶) · ³√(270m¹² / m¹¹) · 4m³n⁴

Solution

Let's simplify each of the radicals one by one.

1. 27x6y9125x3y53\sqrt[3]{\frac{27x^6 y^9}{125x^3 y^5}}

  • First, simplify the numerical part: 27125\frac{27}{125}. Since both are perfect cubes (27=3327 = 3^3 and 125=53125 = 5^3), we get: 271253=35\sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{125}} = \frac{3}{5}
  • For the xx-terms, x6x3=x63=x3\frac{x^6}{x^3} = x^{6-3} = x^3, and then taking the cube root gives xx.
  • For the yy-terms, y9y5=y95=y4\frac{y^9}{y^5} = y^{9-5} = y^4, and taking the cube root gives y4/3y^{4/3}.

Thus, the simplified expression is: 3xy4/35\frac{3x y^{4/3}}{5}


2. 64m3n4\sqrt{64m^3n^4}

  • Simplify the square root of 64: 64=8\sqrt{64} = 8.
  • For the mm-terms: m3=m3/2=mm\sqrt{m^3} = m^{3/2} = m\sqrt{m}.
  • For the nn-terms: n4=n2\sqrt{n^4} = n^2.

Thus, the simplified expression is: 8n2mm8n^2 m\sqrt{m}


3. 20a10b20c9\sqrt{20a^{10}b^{20}c^9}

  • Simplify the numerical part: 20=25\sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}.
  • For the aa-terms: a10=a5\sqrt{a^{10}} = a^5.
